Disneyland Holiday Inn - 1969

Here’s a great little glossy brochure from 1969 for the Holiday Inn at Disneyland. No longer a Holiday Inn, this structure is now the Red Lion Hotel and has been significantly remodeled; check them out here (link).

Does that pool have a sheet of glass on it? What’s with the guy in the background in the slacks and shoes but no shirt, nerd alert! The Deluxe guest room is too groovy for words.

That’s an interestingly stylized Disneyland.

Taking a couple of ideas from Disneyland the hotel featured a “Ship’ Lounge” and a “Polynesian Dining Room” – such elegance.

Only two blocks south of Disneyland! Neato drawings of the new Anaheim Convention Center and the New Anaheim Stadium, hey I think I can see Jason's house from there!

These prices are looking pretty good.

This computerized “Holidex” reservation system printout confirms; 1 room, 2 beds, 3 persons, 4 nights beginning August 4th. Too bad these reservations appear to have been cancelled on July 26, 1969 at 3:00p. All those unrealized happy memories…
